When DME vendors, dr offices or others are not understanding of a severely disabled person's difficulties. We are not being lazy or rude if we show up ten min late or request a certain time for you to visit. We just have a lot of issues and it's much more complicated for us to get there or be ready on time than a less disabled patient especially when relying on transport.

Nurses move up in status (ie management) but not in their knowledge base and lack basic competence-I'm a Pat Benner fan. :yes:

I am also a Benner fan, but I admit I read that as Pat Benetar. Lol. I am clearly in need of more coffee.

I, too, spent about 15 seconds trying to figure out how that had anything to do with Pat Benatar before my reading comprehension kicked in.

Nurses who eat their young. Bullying coworkers because they are new, instead of helping them.

You're not serious right now.

Do you have any idea how busy a primary practice/specialist's office can be? Do you know how far behind a provider would get if you show up JUST ten minutes late??? It is YOUR responsibility to get to your SCHEDULED appointment on time. Being "severely disabled" is no excuse. And I've worked with people with severe disabilities.
